1952 Employers' Claims Name 72 Unionists; The 72 men against whom four Fremantle employers are claiming a total of nearly £6,200 damages are members of the Amalgamated Engineering Union or of the Boilermakers' Society. The employers are alleging that the men first failed, in breach of their contracts of service, to engage in their employment and then unlawfully left their employment and subsequently failed to present themselves. It is claimed that as a result the employers, who had to fulfil contracts for ship repair and maintenance, suffered loss, damage and inconvenience. Addresses given on the summonses show that the men, although working in Fremantle, did not all live there, but came from widely-scattered parts of the metropolitan area. Some are thought to have since moved and the serving of the 72 summonses may present a problem to bailiffs. The names and addresses of the 72 men, as given on the summonses, are: L. Armstrong, 89 King-street, East Fremantle. (reference)

1935 Mr. Sidney Taft, a ‘sustenance’ worker of 172 King-street, East Fremantle was a second class passenger in the Lusitania, which was sunk by a German submarine in 1915. He came to Western Australia in 1929, and was a bedstead maker by trade. He claimed to have made the first iron bedstead in Western Australia, but during the depression was unable to get employment in his trade and had no option but to take sustenance work; ‘grubbing' trees on the pine forest at Applecross. He tells his story:

1935 Sinking Of The Lusitania. A Survivor in This State. The publication in The West Australian of May 8 of a reference to the sinking of the giant Cunard Liner Lusitania off the south coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915, resulted in the discovery of a survivor of the disaster, who is now living In Fremantle. He is Mr. Sidney Taft, of 172 King-street, East Fremantle. After reading the report, which referred to the twentieth anniversary of the disaster, he gathered together some souvenirs of the occurrence and brought them to this office… Born in Warwickshire of Welsh parents, Mr. Taft was a craftsman in the American Postal Machine Company when the Great War broke out. He resigned his post and boarded the Lusitania at New York with the intention of returning to Britain to enlist for active service. The disaster changed his plans, but he later joined the British Army and spent four years in France. "I can remember the Lusitania sailing from New York at 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, May 1, 1915."' he said. "It has often been said that warnings were issued before the start of the voyage regarding the danger from German ships in waters adjacent to the British Isles, but I heard nothing to that effect. In fact, some passengers were transferred from another ship to the Lusitania only a few hours before she sailed. I asked about this danger when I booked my passage and I was told that the liner would be escorted on the voyage." "We were just off the Irish coast, about 8 miles from Kinsale, when a torpedo from a German submarine struck the Lusitania," he added. "I had just finished lunch and was in a bathroom at the time. I remember being blown up and then I found myself in the water. I swam for a nearby boat, which was crowded with about 20 people, and I stayed there until we were picked up by a fishing smack, called the Pall, which took us to Kinsale, where we were landed at midnight. I lost everything I had, including all my money and tools. I was doubled up with cramp when I got to the boat, but managed to hang on long enough. Only 764 people survived; 1,142 were drowned." (reference)
